The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

"What else could it mean? Isn't the situation clear enough? Whoever falls behind will be dragged back and made to entertain them!"

Just kidding! There's no such thing as sharing the same fate. Although he doesn't know Kitahara Iori, Miyazawa Yu knows very well that the two of them are now competitors!

Actually, he didn't need to run faster than Ryujiro behind him; he just needed to outrun this guy named Kitahara Iori!

Once the other party is captured, the pursuers will naturally abandon him in order to control Iori, at which point he will be free to do as he pleases!

As for morality? There is no morality to speak of when it comes to life and death!

"Damn it! You guy!"

Kitahara Iori could tell what Miyazawa Yu was thinking, after all, the pitying look in the other's eyes when looking at the sacrifice was all too easy to understand.

Although I don't know what will happen if I get grabbed by the burly man behind me, it definitely won't end well!

What am I going to do! My legs are so sore, I'm definitely not going to be able to outrun this bastard at this rate!

"Wait! Freshman! Why are you running? Hurry up and accept the warm welcome from the upperclassmen!"

"Ha! Of course we're running! But you guys! Hurry up and go back and put on some clothes!"

"Clothes are any kind of thing! Are you perhaps a shy boy who's afraid of strangers?"

Do you even know what kind of person you look?!

Turning his head to look back, Kitahara Iori was horrified to find that two burly men with O-shaped bodies were only a step away from him, their raised arms reaching for his shoulders like zombies.

"That doesn't matter! Just listen to us! We're very gentle with our juniors!"

"I don't want to hear it!"

Hearing the terrible lines and screaming to the sky, Iori watched as Miyazawa Yu, who had already thrown him more than ten meters away, gradually contorted his face, and a vicious thought gradually took shape in his mind.

Since I can't live, then none of us should live! Let's all die together!

"Hey! If I behave, do you think you can catch up with that jerk ahead?"

"Of course! I'm enough on my own!"

"Alright! I won't run anymore!"

His smile twisted grotesquely as he watched Miyazawa Yu's retreating figure. Kitahara Iori raised his hands and abruptly stopped, only to be pulled into Ryujiro's tight embrace the next second.

"Got you! Freshman!"

"Heh...hahahaha! Hey! You unknown bastard! Good luck! Don't let him catch up!"

A firm chest pressed against his back, but Kitahara Iori showed no despair or ugly struggle. Instead, he let out a relieved sneer and his expression gradually became manic.

That's right! This is the optimal solution! I'm definitely going to die! But Miyazawa Yu won't survive either!

"You bastard! Don't you have any sense of self-sacrifice?!"

"I'd never sacrifice myself for you, you bastard! And you were the one who reminded them I was at the door, weren't you?!"

"These... these are all necessary sacrifices on the road to becoming the King of the Crystal Palace!"

He gritted his teeth but couldn't speed up even a little bit. The next second, a large hand grabbed Miyazawa Yu's shoulder and lifted him into the air. At this point, his pace had become meaningless.

Ruined!

With a terrified expression, Miyazawa Yu began to struggle violently, kicking and stretching her arms and legs. However, as Tokita Shinji grinned and extended another large, sinister hand, her resistance was futile!

In the very end, a pair of unfortunate souls, who should have shared the same fate, were bathed in the sunset, both of them held under someone's arms, happily exchanging blame and calling each other "GG".

Chapter 4: So-called Enlightenment! That's exactly it!

"Hey, Iori! Yu! Is your homesickness cured yet?"

The door was flung open with a slap, and Toshio Kotegawa, who was engrossed in reading the newspaper behind the counter, put it down and saw his nephew being thrown on the ground like trash.

Even so, Kitahara Iori still wouldn't let it go and turned around to exchange trash talk with the young man Miyazawa Yu who had just come into the store.

Have you already made friends before school even started? They seem to be quite close!

How youthful! They can build a relationship of mutual trust with just a few words. It makes even an old man like me feel a little excited!

"In short, Iori, shut up! Uncle Toshio, come quick! Isn't this your shop? It'll be a problem if the seniors drink here!"

Following that, she was thrown into the store. Miyazawa Yu didn't have time to explain the situation to Kitahara Iori, and once again sent a distress signal to Nana Hana's father.

A large group of naked men in the store is definitely affecting business! Get them all out of here, manager!

"It's nothing, and everyone here is an important guest. Stop being homesick and get used to it!"

"So I don't have homesickness at all! And why should I get used to drinking naked!"

Kneeling on the ground, groaning in pain, Miyazawa Yu felt that his worldview had been severely challenged.

What kind of respectable shop owner would allow a group of men to drink and play baseball in their shop, especially without clothes on!

"This is not normal! This is absolutely not normal! Right, Iori!"

"Although you're annoying, that's the one thing that's true! Uncle Toshio! This is clearly not normal at all!"

Miyazawa Yu turned her head and posed a soul-searching question to another seemingly normal person.

Although Kitahara Iori hated this bastard who had wronged her, she couldn't find a way to refute him no matter how long she opened her mouth.

That's right! Because that's how normal people should behave! Unlike those upperclassmen who are drinking and engaging in promiscuous behavior, what kind of behavior is that!

On another note, does he have to become like that in the future? If so, his entire university life will be ruined!

"Huh? Don't you guys get homesick?"

With his arms crossed and head turned away, Ryujiro and Shinji both cast suspicious glances at him.

He said he wanted to go back to his hometown as soon as he came in. It's obvious he's homesick!

"Of course not! I saw you were all naked when I walked into the store, that's why I ran away! I was scared away by you!"

Startled awake from his deathbed, Kitahara Iori, seeing that the situation was still relatively safe, quickly got up to refute him. Dressed, he stood before the O-man, looking small and weak, but without a doubt, he was brave!

Seeing this, Miyazawa Yu sneered and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, quietly crawled backward again at a constant speed of five centimeters per hour.

This time he'd made up his mind: since he couldn't outrun them on foot, he'd outsmart them!

Once he escaped the store, he would crouch down against the wall to block their line of sight. Those two muscular seniors definitely wouldn't be able to react in time. He would then quietly find another way to leave after they chased after him.

I'm sorry, Iori-kun, everyone's path is different from birth, so please don't blame me for being cruel and heartless!

Do you think we like to strip like this?

"Uh... isn't it?"

On the other side, Kitahara Iori, completely unaware that she was being used as a shield, actually began to seriously consider whether there was another reason behind her senior's nudist behavior.

But the next second, Shinji Tokita raised his head slightly and asked himself in an unusually serious tone, "Only this point, we do not deny."

Ryujiro, standing next to him, immediately nodded in agreement. After all, the feeling of being completely uninhibited was truly liberating, a top-tier enjoyment that one would become addicted to once experienced.

"That's perverted! Absolutely perverted!"

My feelings have been played! Kitahara Iori's eyelids twitched with anger.

He must have been brainwashed by stupidity to believe the nonsense of two O-type bastards!

"I'm home~ Aladdin? Daddy! Why is my guest lying on the floor?"

"Oh... Nanaka-chan, all sorts of things have happened, but Iori and Yu are already very good friends!"

Meanwhile, as Miyazawa Yu stared intently at the oblivious Kitahara Iori, his wicked smile gradually widening.

The gates of freedom, which were just inches away, suddenly swung open, and Nanaka Kotegawa, radiating holy light, walked in from outside, dressed in casual clothes.

Although she wasn't wearing a swimsuit that accentuated her figure, even in just a simple shirt and skirt, she still perfectly showcased her gentle and touching nature as a virtuous wife and loving mother, captivating everyone at first glance.

"Uncle! Who's with that guy... Ugh! You bastard! You're not trying to run away, are you?!"

Turning her head, Kitahara Iori was about to say that Miyazawa Yu, who had betrayed her, didn't deserve to be called a close friend.

As a result, they immediately saw the other party's current location, which was only one step away from the gate.

This scoundrel actually took advantage of the moment when he was arguing his case to abandon him and run away!

In an instant, the seven deadly sins of rage and jealousy took hold of him, and the great demon king Kitahara Iori, with black flames erupting behind him, loudly commanded his two demon subordinates: "Senior Kotobuki! Senior Tokita! I'm reporting Miyazawa Yu for trying to escape!"

"impossible!"

"Oh dear! You really never learn!"

Once the beasts are released from their cages, the juniors who have entered the Pab department will not be allowed to leave. If we are not careful and let Miyazawa Yu escape, wouldn't that ruin the reputation of their Izu University branch?

However, just as Ryujiro and Shinji pounced on him, ready to teach their junior a lesson...

Surprisingly, Miyazawa Yu stood up calmly, firmly raised one hand, and stopped both menacing beasts at the same time.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to say, Junior Yu?"

Due to the sudden braking, Ryujiro's muscles bulged, and he still maintained his hunting posture.

As he spoke, his completely blackened pupils emitted a terrifying matte light, and long, hot breaths shot out from his nostrils, hitting the wooden floor with a resounding thud.

"Yes! I must defend myself! This is my lifelong request!"

The impact on his face was no less than the blast of air from a large truck hitting him head-on. Miyazawa Yu endured the déjà vu feeling of being reincarnated into another world, squinted his eyes, and turned his head toward Kotegawa Nanaka.

At this moment, the girl's skirt was lifted by the wind, and her hair flew in the air.

Nanaka Kotegawa, holding down her skirt with one hand, looked at Yu Miyazawa with a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what her junior was up to.

"Senior Kotegawa, please answer my question seriously! This concerns my future!"

With a determined look in his eyes, as if he were about to join the Party, Miyazawa Yu grabbed Kotegawa Nanaka's hand and pressed it against his chest, using his heartbeat to prove his sincerity.

"Ah... okay! I understand! Please tell me, junior!"

Although I don't know what happened, it seems pretty amazing!

Nanaka Kotegawa didn't realize that Yu Miyazawa's actions were a bit out of line for a friend she had just met, and instead, she was influenced by him and her expression became even more serious.

"Is that so! Nanaka-senpai also thinks there's nothing wrong with this shop?!"

"Eh... even if you say that..." Passing by Miyazawa Yu, Kotegawa Nanaka glanced at the familiar customers in the shop, and the familiar baseball-style punches, "There shouldn't be... any problem, right?"

"Yosh! I got it, Nanaka-nee! Next up, Ryujiro-senpai!"

Releasing the delicate hand of Angel Nanaka, Miyazawa Yu's eyes sharpened after making up his mind. He glanced back at the cowardly Kitahara Iori and raised his head slightly to show his contempt.

Then, facing Ryujiro's imposing aura, he stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said in one smooth motion, "I'm officially joining the Pab Club. Thank you, senior!"

"Ah... lust at first sight!"

"Yes, yes! It was definitely lust at first sight!"

Ryujiro and Shinji worked together to tell the truth, after all, Miyazawa Yu's scheme was so loud it was almost deafening!

"Heh, it's just a necessary sacrifice, I was prepared for that long ago!"

With a light laugh, Miyazawa Yu showed no shame or fear in the face of his senior's teasing. Instead, he opened his arms wide with a magnanimous air.

As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained! Since Angel Nanaka thinks Grand Blue is fine, then Grand Blue is fine!

Poor Iori-kun, he never expected this! Miyazawa Yu's resolve goes far beyond simply sacrificing others!

That's right! Even if it costs him his worthless life, he'll still build up his Crystal Palace! That's his resolve!

"Hey! What are you so angry about, you bastard! For Nanaka-nee-san! Are you willing to abandon even your sense of shame?"

Completely baffled by Miyazawa Yu's chuunibyou-ish poses and what he was so obsessed with, Kitahara Iori instinctively felt that something was amiss.

If Yu also defectes to the enemy, wouldn't I be completely isolated and helpless in despair? This is not good!

"Hmph! My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just!"

"So what are you so angry about?! Wake up, Yu-kun! The heroes of justice need you!"

"My mind is made up! There is no room for further discussion!"

"No! Senior Shou, what are you doing? I don't want to sign the club application!!! No!!!"

Chapter 5 The hunter became the prey!

"Come on! Just put your handprint on the cover and you're a member of Pab! Aren't you excited, Iori!"

"Oh no! Absolutely not! My college life! My life can't end like this!"

With her head pressed against the table and her body restrained by three or four upperclassmen, Kitahara Iori finally understood how desperate Miyazawa Yu had been back then.
